So I am slowly building up my Track dream in hopes of having some fun at the velodrome and want to know what is your essential Track supplies & setup. Details people its all in the details we find the best advice.
Gloves???? - I heard NFL Cutters X40 are good
Cog sizes - 13, 14, 15, 16
Chainrings - 48, 49, 50, 51
Bars - Aluminium/Steel - narrow or wide?
Chains - half link/standard 1/8th link or a mix?
Frame- Alu/Steel/Carbon?
Fork - Same as above?
Wheels - I like the idea of double fixed hubs e.g. Halo
Chainring Bolts - Stronglight Steel/Alu?
Pedals - MTB Time Atacs for multipurpose use for now but looking to change to some standard road keo's
Shoes - heard great things about Sidi's would love to try
Stems - angles etc.
Let's not be shy and get to the nitty gritty...spread the love. BTW (Sup Scoble DAWS) :)
Peace and much love to any positive feedback/advice appreciated.
